Feelings toward poetry :)

when i read poetry i really can't find the meaning  behind the  text because  i don't know what the person who wrote it was trying to say or go for. To help me try and  understand it i  read it twice and try and analyze the words. I wasn't exposed to poetry until i was in high school. the verses are very complex but sometimes I find one poem  that i understand and relates to me in a way. If i had to write a poem ,  i would take forever  because i  would not know what to say.  I wrote one poem  in the 9th  grade about my life and it wasn't the best but i still tried. Im not trying to tell people to give up writing poetry if they think they don't understand how it works because some people find poetry relaxing but some like me take time to understand what's going on in the poem. It's one thing to read a poem but it's another thing to sit down and write a poem about yourself or a topic you chose. The topic you chose depends on how people will view or understand because if you chose something in your family or life, people won't know what's going on until they read it. if I write a poem about the ocean, people would understand what im talking about but if i wrote about my family they wouldn't know who i am or what's going on in my life but some people who feel how i would feel would understand.
